...Where to begin? Well, first of all, proponents of ID point to what they insist are serious flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. The truth is that the theory is not only an overwhelmingly powerful explanation for how life on Earth manages to come in such a bewildering array of different types, but the only such theory in science. Like any scientific theory, it can't explain how every aspect of every organism came to be, but each time scientists find new evidence-fossils of dinosaurs bearing feathers; fossils of the mammals whose descendants are whales...
...Medicare officials insist the website hasn't had a large number of errors, and that the few which have cropped up are due to incorrect information that the private companies supply. But even when it is correct seniors can face frustrating discrepancies because different pharmacies can charge different prices for the same drug. The numbers Fox gave the website for Reed's drugs were based on their "commonly purchased price," says marketing director David Kline, but the company rep gave Reed a higher quote in case her pharmacist charged more. He says the call center will now give quotes that...
Rebel conservative Republicans and Senate Democrats handed George W. Bush a major defeat Friday, but GOP officials insist it will end up backfiring in next year's mid-term elections.

Despite his acquittal, al-Arian remained behind bars last week as prosecutors pondered whether to retry him on the charges the jurors deadlocked on. But even if he emerges from jail, the trial's revelations about his stealth involvement with Islamic Jihad--after he claimed for years that he rejected the group--have all but wrecked his standing as a spokesman for mainstream Palestinian causes...
...Angelina Jolie undoubtedly add major star power to the new version, Halicki’s version is still marginally validated by its 40 minutes of car chases. The automotive craziness and special effects are almost as heart-pounding and realistic as that of the remake. While many critics insist that remakes are never as good as originals, H.B. Halicki’s original heist extravaganza contradicts conventional wisdom. Even with special features about Halicki’s life and extra car chases, the Collector’s Edition of “Gone in 60 Seconds” is stale...
